Back To Karkand Easter Egg Hints At Battlefield 2143?

This will undoubtedly result in gamers inching through levels, scouring the area for embedded secrets that will hint at the developer's next project.

As noted by the Battlefield 3 Blog, DICE has tossed in a small piece of graffiti in the newly released Back to Karkand expansion pack. As you can see by this screenshot, it's just a number: 2143.

It could just be graffiti but as the blog states, DICE has dropped little Easter Eggs into their add-on packs before. Plus, you see "2143" in other places as well, like the license plate of a car and in a billboard advertisement. EA announced Battlefield 2142 back in 2006; what are we looking at now? Battlefield 2143? The game that takes place exactly 200 years after Battlefield 1943, which released last year and sold around 1.2 million digital copies?

Yes it was announced in 2006, but it was also released in 2006 and an expansion a year or two later. It was actually pretty good as well, as all games in the Battlefield series are, and I wouldn't mind visiting the future again with the new Frostbite engine.
